Measuring the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature of tungsten–tantalum alloy using chevron-notched micro-cantilevers

High-temperature micro-fracture tests of a industrial grade W–1%Ta alloy were performed from room temperature up to 700 °C, using chevron-notched micro-cantilevers. A gradual increase of conditional fracture toughness (KQc) was measured with increasing temperature, and a microscale brittle-to-ductil...
